I kept it very simple and used a new stamp and die combination for my card.
I had brought Birds and Branches Bundle as soon as I received the catalogue
BUT had only used it once...So it was NOW time.

I could see the design in my head I just needed it to work out how I dreamed....LOL
AND it did!!!

Using Balmy Blue for the front of my card and Misty Moonlight as the card base.
I also use Cinnamon Cider for the branches.
I adore how it has turned out...

The Spot #123 - Scrapbook Challenge

Welcome to The Spot for Inspiration and Weekly Cardmaking Challenges
Every Tuesday we have a completely new challenge for you.This week the theme is all about SCRAPBOOKING....Yay!!!
Something I am very passionate about and have been doing for 18yrs

The Design Team Members are Stampin' Up! Demos from around the globe,
Be sure to check out what the rest of the team have created here

If you would LOVE to join in the challenge create a 1 or 2 page layout or a Mini album
and submit your link to the The Spot #123

This week's challenge was a walk in the park for me, I started at 6am this morning
and was finished by 7.30am. I must say I already had the framing and the embellishment clusters cut out and ready after a LIVE I did for Scrappin' On The GO! Tutorial Bundle.

Firstly I drew around a large dinner plate to create a circular template for the
stamped leaf border in Whisper White Craft Stampin' Pad.
The leaf that I used was from Forever Fern Stamp Set.

Next I added the 2 pieces of DSP and the piece of Pretty Peacock Cardstock
over the top of the circular border...
Then I added the 3 frames around the photo of my Daughter and myself.
Then I added the gold foil accents from Forever Gold Specialty Papers
behind the photos and in between the embellishment clusters
and then stuck them all together inside the circle.

I used the Family Party Stamp set for Our Daughter word
and then I used the dies from Playful Alphabet to cut out the word Bride
from our Gold Foil Sheets.

Love how it turned out... Here some more photos frames and the clusters

The Spot #122 - Coffee, Cocktails, & Chocolate Challenge

 

Welcome to The Spot for Inspiration and Weekly Cardmaking Challenges
Every Tuesday we have a completely new challenge for you.
This week the theme is all about Coffee, Cocktails and Chocolate

The Design Team Members are Stampin' Up! Demos from around the globe,
there are 14 of us in total and we all LOVE challenges.

This week was a NO Brainer for me, I used the Brand New product
Nothing's Better Than BUNDLE....

 

On the previous weeks I have just created a card, this morning at 3.30am
I decided it was a good idea to create a Fancy Fold Card...
YES that is correct you read it right I decided to create a Step Fold Card
at that time of the morning...When I spoke to my husband on the phone at
4.30am he said that I was CRAZY....Probably!!!
I was back in bed at 8am as I couldn't keep my eyes open LOL

I followed Courtenay Heuston's Step Fold Card design

 Here are the measurements/score linesCut A4 card in half to give you a piece 14.9cm x 21cm
fold in half at the 10.5 cm point.
Using the trimmer measure across 8 cm then using the ruler on the clear trimmer arm (where the blade slides) starting at 5.5cm cut down to 18.5 cm, score as per the photo below. Crease the score lines in alternate directions to give the step look.

Using the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper with all the Brass Foiled DSP.
I wanted to keep it simple and let the DSP and the Stamped images tell the story.
So I used the DSP with the Brass Globes all over it and cover my Basic Black card base
on the left hand side panel, the I found the card "You make the world a better place"
from the World of Good Memories & More Card Pack to put on the front panel.
I also added a Globe Sticker from the Memories & More Card Pack.

Then I used the Black and Brass checked DSP to cover all my step up panels.
This DSP is just so Classy!!!

Next I stamped all my images in Versamark on Whisper White Cardstock
and then added Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set them with Heat Tool.

Even though the rest of the card is done with Brass, the Gold works well with it.
I love the simplicity of this card with just the Black and Brass and
the White and Gold Stamped images of Chocolate, Coffee and Cocktails...
I would LOVE for you to join us weekly and create some cards/project or Scrapbooking.
 I do hope you have FUN creating for this challenge,
